Recently, a survey has found that Christmas is a season in which people are affected from low broadband speeds. This is due to the overuse of lights and other electric decorative items that emits radiations.

In festive seasons when decorative lights are used in abundance, there will be considerable slowdown in the broadband speeds. This has already been noted during the past few years. Regardless of the ISP, there will be a noticeable slowdown in speed.

During the last few years many people are affected from this experience, but none would have thought that their lights have something to do with internet speed. All most all customers who use broadband were affected by this, reports said.

Usually people think that the speed of their net depends on the distance between them and exchange. But, this not true; there are so many other factors that could reduce the speed.

Even though it seems silly, intrusion from electric lights and wirings can decrease the broadband speed. At the time of Christmas, when people use lights abundantly, the speed will come low significantly.

To avoid the speed drop, people can adopt some precautions. Keeping the wirings and lights as far as possible from routers is the first step. While purchasing lights, buy them from reputed brands and to the maximum avoid dimming lights.
